   Great tent in many ways. Lots of cool features. Got a 6 person so not for backpacking use. Set up was easy enough. Can’t speak to how it would withstand rain or wind cuz I only did a backyard test run for an hour or so. In the end it just wasn’t quite what I was looking for… footprint was larger than I wanted once I set it up. So I packed it back up and returned it. To be fair I’m looking for a unicorn of a tent, one tall enough to stand up in, but not a big floor footprint, with front and back vestibules and windows, inside storage pockets, and a double front door with screening that allows me a view of outside from the comfort of my sleeping bag. This tent and another I ordered from kazoo, came close, but weren’t quite right. I think they’d be good family camping tents, though for most folks. Well made of sturdy fabric, fairly good ventilation, relatively easy setup, and good fly protection with a decent front vestibule.
   Not a bad tent to be stuck in in the rain.
   Just wasn’t right for me. Been an avid camper for 40 years and am pretty darn particular about what I’m looking for, so I’ll keep on searching for my unicorn.

   This is my 2nd Kazoo tent. Have the 4 person tent also, which has a lot of room in it and proved itself in a rain storm. Bought this 2 person tent to take kayak camping. Small enough package to fit in 10.6 ft kayak. Easy set up. Did not feel claustrophobic in it at all. On one day, 40 mph winds came down the lake and hit our camp site with sustained winds all day. While all the other tents were getting flattened by the winds and flapping around. I was comfortable inside reading a book and napping. It had plenty of room for myself, dog, inflatable mattress and room for gear. Made for a very enjoyable camp experience.

   I just got my tent today for “solo senior camping”. (My husband doesn’t want to go anymore and we sold our trailer) I set the tent up in our living room tonight by myself in about 1/2 hour. If I had been outdoors it would have been easier as I was working around the TV, sofa and woodstove! Things I love already: the color coded poles that match the color coded sleeves on the tent make it foolproof…Instructions are sewn into the carry bag so they won’t get lost….zippers are really smooth…ventilation seems well thought out…obviously it’s not raining in the living room, but the well thoughtout features to keep rain out of the front opening of the rainfly make me confident I will stay dry (velcro closures, elastic sewn into the top of the door to insure a tight closure and a nice 2″ fabric overlapping the zipper to keep the rain out) All the stakes are here and the guylines are attached already and waiting to be staked. A heavy plastic mallet is included, but I’m thinking a hammer will work better. The carrying case is compact, a little heavy but will work well for car camping. I’ll update this review after a test run in the outdoors, but for now it looks great in my living room!

   There are two of us and we normally camp using a foam mattress. This tent is perfect for us. There is tons of room for the mattress and our gear. The assembly is easy and one person can do it, no problem. The ventilation is also nice. We camp in places that sometimes don’t have a lot of shade. So the fact that this tent has good ventilation is a major plus. Also, we love the little porch in the tent design. It gives added room for our gear and shoes. We had always struggled with keeping the dirt out of our other tents. But with the little porch area, it is so much easier. We also really use the hook on the top of the tent. Great place to hang lighting and super durable. Only complaint is that the zippers do sometimes get stuck on the fabric. However, that happens with most tents we have used. All and all, this is a great tent and great value. I would highly recommend.

   Tent came a day earlier than was expected per whatcampingtent.com tracking for a surprising fast delivery. This tent was honestly so easy to put together that we thought we were here reading the directions wrong. It snaps together in a matter of a minute and comes with minimal parts so you can’t overcomplicate assembly like we were trying to do! Even the instruction sheet was durable and sewn inside the carrying case so it’s never lost. There is lots of netting for a very breathable, well ventilated tent that made for great star gazing. It also comes with an attachable water cover that was extremely waterproof. It easily fit our family of three including my 6 foot tall husband. It was not hot or stuffy overnight, making it comfortable for the young one to sleep. In the morning it was a fast and easy disassembly and the tent is lightweight enough that even I volunteered to carry it. We really liked it’s sleek design and high ceiling. My toddler especially had a lot of fun with putting his camping chair out on the “porch” feature. I loved the bright blue color. It came exactly as pictured and described. I could not have picked a better tent. I am very happy withy purchase and would highly recommend.
